  abstract = {{W}e investigate the interaction between two rupture fronts as they propagate toward each other and ultimately collide. {T}his phenomenon was observed during laboratory experiments conducted on poly methyl methacrylate. {S}ubsequently, we used numerical simulations to elucidate key aspects of these observations and draw broader conclusions. {O}ur findings indicate that the collision of the rupture fronts generates interface waves that propagate along the sliding interface at the {R}ayleigh wave speed. {A}dditionally, the rupture fronts interact with the starting and stopping {S}-wave phases radiated by the opposite rupture fronts, which can locally change their velocity and generate additional interface waves. {W}e discuss the implications of these results for understanding earthquake source phenomena.},
